How to play
- 51 cards — the queen of spades is pulled from the pack, leaving one lonely queen as the zombie.
- Pairs vanish from the hands the moment the deal ends, so each rank keeps at most one odd card.
- On your turn you draw one card blind from your rival's hand; the index you pick is all the information you get.
- The first seat to empty their hand wins; caught holding a queen at the end, you lose.
